How awesome is it that these days we can go out, take a few pictures and upload them strait onto Instagram or Pinterest?

However, when your smartphone or camera runs out of battery after all that calling/texting, you will have no option but to wishfully hope to find a place where you can charge your battery to still take those pictures.

In fact, Sun & Cloud is the world’s first self powered digital camera which uses solar energy to charge itself. It comes with a solar panel on top of the device and it charges completely when under the sun. Moreover, the unit can also be charged manually with a hand crank via kinetic energy. If you are too lazy to do that, it even comes with a USB cable so that you can charge/connect to a computer.

The Sun & Cloud comes with a 3 megapixel sensor and can take pictures in 3 different modes. The normal mode can take pictures within 150 cm range and the portrait mode can take pictures between the 60 and 150 centimeters range.

Basically, the camera lets you take all the pictures and videos of all those outdoor trips without worrying about battery running out of charge in your smartphone.

I must say this is one of the coolest and most functional devices that I have come across.
